MARRIED COUPLE

the husband wanted a divorce because he has a new girlfriend outside and decided that he totally have no more feelings for his wife. so when he brought this up to her, she didn't say anything and just teared.

she sat by the study table the whole night. the next morning when her husband woke up, she said,' i'll agree to your divorce but you've to accede to my request.' because he desperately wanted a divorce, he agreed immediately. the request was to delay the divorce by one month. and during this one month, she wants her husband to carry her from the room to the door. like how he used to do on their day of marriage.

on the first day, he had difficulty carrying his wife as it has been years since they had such physical contact. upon seeing that, their son clapped and cheered happily, not knowing about the divorce.

by the end of the week, things began to be more comfortable. she lean on his chest and he could carry her easily. he could smell the fragrance from her blouse. next, he then took a closer look at her. she doesn't look the same as she was since marriage. there were wrinkles on her face. at this time, her husband then realised how much she've been through throughout the wedding.

on the second week, he felt that their intimacy were returning. it felt the same when they just got married. he realised that he could carry his wife so much easier than the week before. and the truth is, she had lost weight. she buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart that no one knows.

on the day before the divorce, the husband realised what was missing in their relationship. hence he decided to tell his girlfriend that he won't leave the family. after carrying his wife for a month, he understood that their life lacked intimacy. he found his marriage live boring as he did not value the details of their life. he took everything that his wife did for granted.

on his way home, he bought a bouquet of roses for his wife, just like how he used to do during the courtship. he ran upstairs wanted to surprise her, only to realise that she was dead. fatigue and sadness has taken its toll on her.

so sad right. just when you've learnt to cherish, you lost that special person.
